"Wreck-It Ralph" Movie Review

Vanellope von Schweetz
- voiced by Sarah Silverman.
"Wreck-It Ralph (John C. Reilly) longs to be as beloved as his game's perfect Good Guy, Fix-It Felix (Jack McBrayer). Problem is, nobody loves a Bad Guy. But they do love heroes... so when a modern, first-person shooter game arrives featuring tough-as-nails Sergeant Calhoun (Jane Lynch), Ralph sees it as his ticket to heroism and happiness. He sneaks into the game with a simple plan -- win a medal -- but soon wrecks everything, and accidentally unleashes a deadly enemy that threatens every game in the arcade. Ralph's only hope? Vanellope von Schweetz (Sarah Silverman), a young troublemaking "glitch" from a candy-coated cart racing game who might just be the one to teach Ralph what it means to be a Good Guy. But will he realize he is good enough to become a hero before it's "Game Over" for the entire arcade?" Written by Walt Disney Studios Motion Pictures (Link below.)

Once again I have SourceFed to thank for their recommendation of this film. I probably would've seen it anyway, because I really do love animated films and anything remotely artsy, but it's nice to have their spin on things.


Directed by Rich Moore ("Futurama", "The Simpsons"), the screenplay was written by Phil Johnston and Jennifer Lee and based upon the story created by Rich Moore, Phil Johnston ("Cedar Rapids") and Jim Reardon ("Wall-e", "The Simpsons"). Old school gamers, children and anyone else will enjoy this computer generated artistic feast for the eyes.

Disney was in a slump for a while. But now, I think they may actually start being on a roll again with their films. I must say that I really enjoyed this movie. My friends and I loved it. It was beautifully animated with an amazing vocal cast and a cute message to the story. I don't usually like Sarah Silverman, but it was a very good choice for the role. The rest of the cast matched their roles perfectly. It was also nice to see all of the cameos of game characters that are so much a part of society that even I knew who they were, or at least which game they were in.

I give this movie 5 typewriters.
